School-Age Stuttering Series

WEBINAR / COURSE DETAILS

Do you search social media and teacher sites for stuttering assessment and therapy activities? Do you feel unorganized, and find yourself grabbing whatever is easy, free, and quick - without knowing the principle behind the practice? Do you wonder how to adapt your stuttering therapy to align with neurodiversity principles? This course will help with that! Nina and Scott will describe the changing roles of SLPs, and the changing goal focus of disability-informed stuttering therapy.
